GLANDORF — Along with holding turtle races for the 38th year, the Glandorf Park Fest featured tournaments for young, old and everyone in between, food and live music.

The festival began Friday evening with face painting for kids and a candy store behind the fire station. Saturday included competition in cornhole and horse shoe despite a stiff breeze. The reverse raffle, the eighth to happen during the annual fest, raised approximately $10,000 for Glandorf Park and made a few ticket holders lucky winners.
